A promise you choose. A clear way back.
Commitment mode adds a consequence to a session you deliberately choose. The rule and the route back should both be clear before you begin.
Company and commitment are different choices.
Companion mode allows an early end without cat departure. Commitment mode explains its stronger session rules before the start; a deliberate breach makes the cat step away.
Camera reminders are optional and need your permission. They stay on your device and never count as evidence of a broken commitment.
Coming home takes one completed recovery session.
Choose a recovery session length and finish the whole round. Your cat returns when the session is complete.
Another unfinished attempt does not add more sessions to repay. Recovery does not grant ordinary growth rewards or a guest-cat visit. Bringing your cat home is free.
An interruption is not always a deliberate breach.
Missing a day keeps your progress intact. An app crash or a system interruption will not make your cat leave.
A few things you might ask
Do I pay to bring my cat back?
No. Complete one full recovery session at a duration you choose to bring your cat home. Recovery is free, and another unfinished attempt does not add more sessions to repay.
Does missing a day make the cat leave?
No. Absence and an active commitment are different. Missed days do not erase past progress; a deliberate breach of an active commitment has a recovery path.
Does a crash count as a broken commitment?
An app crash or a system interruption will not make your cat leave.
